Chapter 8: Path to the Supremeअक्षरब्रह्मयोग
8:11
“That which the knowers of the Vedas call the Imperishable, which the self-controlled and passion-free enter, desiring which they practice celibacy—that goal I shall briefly explain to you.”
Sanskrit
यदक्षरं वेदविदो वदन्ति विशन्ति यद्यतयो वीतरागाः | यदिच्छन्तो ब्रह्मचर्यं चरन्ति तत्ते पदं सङ्ग्रहेण प्रवक्ष्ये ||
Transliteration
yad akṣaraṁ veda-vido vadanti viśanti yad yatayo vīta-rāgāḥ yad icchanto brahmacaryaṁ caranti tat te padaṁ saṅgraheṇa pravakṣye
Commentary
Krishna offers to explain the ultimate destination—the Imperishable—sought by Vedic scholars, renunciants, and celibate seekers. This is the supreme spiritual goal.
